tracehook: death

This moves the ptrace logic in task death (exit_notify) into tracehook.h
inlines.  Some code is rearranged slightly to make things nicer.  There is
no change, only cleanup.

There is one hook called with the tasklist_lock write-locked, as ptrace
needs.  There is also a new hook called after exit_state changes and
without locks.  This is a better place for tracing work to be in the
future, since it doesn't delay the whole system with locking.
